Do you gamble?

[fredjr82]

Do you gamble? I enjoy going to a casino and playing slots or Keno for a night. Sometimes some table games but it's rare. I'll do Sportsbook in Vegas, but betting app in Iowa. We like Vegas. Play Bingo and slots mostly.

I wonder if the Gen Z and Millennials gamble as much as Boomers do?

 

[Moral]

No.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Fantasy golf, and live poker is about it.

Your poll is flawed. I was going to select "all of the above" but there was nothing above that choice.

I enjoy the occasional visit to the casino. Used to play poker at Rside and online, but lost interest. I'll play blackjack, but I have to scope out the tables to make sure there are no donkey's sitting.

Good luck. Morans everywhere, and usually sitting at 3rd base (and I know the odds say it evens out in the long run but damn it doesn’t seem like it).

When I’m in Vegas for conferences I’ll try to sit down at a table during the day, midweek to play blackjack before the price jumps up at night and weekends. Try to play two or three hands at a time, $25 max bet with $500 max to lose for the week while I’m there. If I win or break even, great. If I lose, oh well. Best time there was a $3,500 win total for two nights playing blackjack.

Low dollar sportsbook betting on Hard Rock casino app (perfectly legal now in FL)

Roulette at a Casino, some slots or video poker, low dollar

 

[SeaPA]

A little, but not much...I enjoy going to Vegas but don't go frequently - maybe a long weekend once every few years. Mostly play craps, a little blackjack. I have a few buddies that I get together with every other month for a small-stakes poker night. Other than that, about the only betting I do is on the golf course.

If my wife drags me on a cruise, I'll spend some time in the casino; as in Vegas, mostly play craps & blackjack.

 

[The Tradition]

No.

This.

 

[ICWestfan]

Good luck. Morans everywhere, and usually sitting at 3rd base (and I know the odds say it evens out in the long run but damn it doesn’t seem like it).

Last time I played there was me and another guy at the table, he was at 1st base, I was at 3rd. Along comes this guy and sits right next to me. I played 2 hands and got up and left when he split 10's with the dealer showing a bust card.

No. There is a reason casinos are often really big buildings.
I just never found it enjoyable and wish “the odds” weren’t such a prominent part of sports news.

 

[HawkinK.C.1]

Not really. I'll bet skill games here or there but I don't really play any casino games where you are betting against the house and any bet you make is less than 50%. Don't really understand why people do that.

 

[Mayland]

I like to play blackjack locally, but im afraid I’ll run into too many douchebags if I’m playing in Vegas or Deadwood. Do some occasional sports betting on an app or if I’m at a sportsbook.

 

[WSC72]

This.

No as well

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Mostly just live poker at the casino

I re-download the DraftKings app during football season and will do some table games at the casino if I'm there with friends.

I have never gotten the appeal of slots

 

[onlyTheObvious]

$1 and $2 bets on NFL to see how smart I am. Usually break about even. Started season with $40 and ended at $50.

I have learned betting on college football and any basketball is a very bad idea.

Can’t win big if you are not willing to risk big so I have no chance. My best bet would be to piss away $20 into a slot and hope for a miracle.

Casinos in Iowa are old chain smoking oxygen tank loser conventions. Never seen a group of young couples enjoying a good time at a casino. Building them in Iowa is feeding into addictions of people that can’t afford them.

Painful to watch.

I’ve had some good success at getting a table to myself in the morning shift - for at least a bit - at double deck blackjack at smaller strip locations, like Barbary (or whatever it’s called now).

It’s fantastic.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

No.

I hate losing money.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Outside of an occasional bet with another person, no. Never.

 

[Scott559]

Friendly golf wagers occasionally. Take my Aunt to casino approx every two months.

 

[soonerinlOUisiana]

Used to do an annual “Braves trip” to Atlanta every year with a bunch of guys. Would spend the night in Biloxi, MS at a casino resort. Slots and blackjack are all I’d play. Haven’t done this in over 15 years.

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

I do in the stock market, and it always pays well if you play the long game.

 

[Hendy hawk]

Absolutely not.

 

[Hans81]

Good luck. Morans everywhere, and usually sitting at 3rd base (and I know the odds say it evens out in the long run but damn it doesn’t seem like it).

Only occasionally sports book…mostly college football games.

 

[Lindemann]

Nope.

 

[franklinman]

NO, Not giving my money away, never have.

That's how casinos make $$$ in table games.

Lots of dumbass players and usually at minimum bet table.

Worst thing now is the side/sucker bets. Play at Rythum City a fair amount. Always some Oriental/older players that are there to play 3 card poker with no Blackjack common sense.

 

[The Tradition]

My father used to say this about playing the lottery:

"So you bet $5 a week on the lottery? If you want to be a winner, take that $5 per week and invest it instead. You are guaranteed to be a winner if you do that for the rest of your life."

Dad was a wise man.

 

[LuciousBDragon]

I bet the over on several B1G football games in 2023 featuring a team we all know & love.

If that’s not gambling, I don’t know what is.

 

[BrianNole777]

I've played roulette 4 times at Casinos and probably lost $200 total. Roulette is fun.

I've also bet on sports and probably broke even overall.

 

[QChawks]

fantasy sports

 

[BrianNole777]

I was thinking the other day that everything humans do in life is basically a gamble since we can't predict the future.

CSB.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

Nope, not me!

The only thing I’ll play in a casino is roullette. Wifey and I have a strategy that’s won us more than it’s lost. Yes, we understand that it is completely dependent on luck. But, I absolutely will not play Triple Zero. We haven’t been to a casino in a couple years so I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve heard there’s been a pretty significant shift towards it, which sucks.

I have a feeling OP is going to be a regular at the new CR casino.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

No and shouldn’t the All of the above option be at the bottom not the top?

 

[hydro2.0]

Yes.

Betting apps and a 401k and stocks

 

[ConvenientParking]

Never before 2024. Hung out at a few in the last year on the road. Stretch $5-$10 for an hour or two on video poker and drink coffee while I get on WiFi to download streaming content for bedtime at free campsite in remote public lands out of data range. So many elderly newlyweds

 

[THE_DEVIL]

Every morning when I say good mornin' to the No Pic

 

[fredjr82]

Not a regular, but will occasionally go throw $100 in now and then. I'm looking forward to the value it's going to bring downtown and the West Side of the Cedar. That's been a ghost town since the flood

Probably but I love anarchy. Also no politics! LFG!!

It’s too bad there wasn’t room on the South/East side of the interstate for it, making it easier to park and hoof it, and giving it a more cohesive feel. A minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things.

I see the Kehls are still fighting it. Come on, man. Accept your fate and make Riverside better.
